This is the time of year when the Maryland Food Bank sees a drop in donations, so it relies on food drives to help. For the third year in a row, the Ravens are teaming up with Giant to collect food and donations.

"We're really excited for it. Last year, we raised over $30,000 and 20,000 pounds of food. It was really beneficial to our community. This goes right to Maryland," said Ravens spokeswoman Heather Harness.

"The food banks have really been facing a lot of demand the past few years, with the downturn in the economy, and it's really important that all of our neighbors come out," said Giant spokesman Jamie Miller.

Starting on Halloween, collection carts can be found at 52 area Giant locations, where people can donate nonperishable items.

"We've got great sale items, including 10 for 10 items," Miller said.

People can make monetary donations that will go toward the Ravens food drive and Giant's similar campaign.

"We've set a goal of collecting over $300,000. Customers have the options of making a $1, $3 or $5 donation at checkout. Every time they make a $5 donation, they'll receive a Ravens tailgater bag with a drawstring, so that's a nice incentive there," Miller said.
